Well, today was my orthodontist appointment and he confirmed my worse fears.
After looking at my uneven teeth in the bottom row, that I caused with loosing the bands and not checking, he has put me back to an arch wire to pull them in line again. He removed the metal hooks for the night time elastics and put normal ones back on.
He says that it has probably cost 2 months as it will take one month to pull them back and the next to do the Hannibal closing again, so I am totally kicking myself.
Also to make matters worse, I can only make it to my next appointment, then all of the orthodontist visits happen when I am out of the country, so I cannot see him until September this year. They said to talk over the options with him next time I see him, but 3 weeks ago I was expecting to have these off within a month, and now I am looking at Christmas again!
I am so disappointed and frustrated by this....it was all going so well.
Again I reiterate, if you think there is something out of the ordinary or something missing, sort it out straight away, as little setbacks can turn into huge ones very quickly. :-(
